A very relaxing holiday

Just returned from 2 weeks at the Ipanema what a lovely friendly place all the staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were basic but comfortable and the view from the balcony was lovely. The breakfast was pretty standard but there was everything there, the evening meals were good and some were absolutely delicious, although did get a little predictable the buffet evenings held once a week were always fresh and had plenty of choice, could have done with a little more entertainment at night tho I think there probably is during the high season. The terrace area was nice with lovely flowers but could have done with a snack bar for drinks etc the pool was ok but you couldn't get 2 beds together only at one end so had to lie head to toe we used to lay on terrace and just go to pool for a swim. All in all a lovely friendly hotel a short walk away from local shops and cable car into Taormina.More

The rooftop pool and sunbeds and a fabulous private beach with the hotel's own shuttle made this a good swimming and sun enjoyment holiday. The food and the staff and internet access were all pretty good too. On the down side the rooms were a bit basic and walls thin. The evenings would have been better if I was a smoker (in the bar area there was no getting away from the smoke) and outside after dark was the home of many mosquitos. Sept 2011.

Room Tip: They were mostly a little aged with so-so AC and quite three star ish. The desk staff were very good and professional.

Lovely food, lots of sea food, staff fantastic, nothing too much trouble. Stayed at hotel Sirius 4 years ago and this far outweighed it in the food stakes. Downside is you need to get the funicular up into Taormina. Positive of this is you can get amazing views on the trip up, and you are close to the sea. Loved it:-)

We booked through Citalia and had a great time - the location of the hotel is good, with plenty to see & do in Taormina itself. The room was absolutely fine and the air conditioning was still on when we left on 7th October (despite other travellers' comments that it went off after September). We took our own kettle and there's a mini bar in the room. We went half board, which is unusual for us as normally we're self catering - the food was fine, a good choice each evening and a wonderful buffet on the Friday with Sicilian music thrown in. Breakfast was fine, plenty of fruit, cereals, boiled eggs, breads,ham/salami/cheese and wonderful Italian coffee. The staff were very efficient and provided great service. We were also very lucky in the other people staying in the hotel. All in all, we'd recommend the hotel and will probably stay there again ourselves.

Room Tip: If you are larger than average, ask for a room with a bath & shower - the shower cabinets are small!

The hotel is in a good position in Taormina Mare, with the beach close by but also access to Taormina via the cable car (2 mins away). We had a good holiday at the hotel but like other reviewers I would say it is 3 star rather than 4. The rooms and public areas were quite dark and needed updating, although everywhere was clean. We did find our room noisey, with the sound from the rooms above and also the plumbing! The staff were very good and helpful. Food was good but the seating arrangements in the dining room could have been better (tables too close together and in a row). The Gala buffet was excellent and we enjoyed the local musicians who entertained us. We loved Taormina, which is very picturesque, it was quite busy in August. We were pleased to have visited the Roman Ampitheatre early and avoided the groups of cruise passengers on their organised visits. We went on two organised trips (through the Thomson rep)to Syracuse and Mount Etna. Both had Rosa as a guide, who was excellent, and we enjoyed both excursions. The trip was a good introduction to Sicily at a reasonible cost.

Room Tip: 4 th or if loucky 5th floor rooms would be quieter and also have the best views.
